MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD RUMORS & GOSSIP

There was once a time in this great nation of ours where a fan knew what to expect from his or her sports. You knew the World Series would be in October and you knew the Super Bowl would be held somewhere around the third or fourth week in January, but not anymore. The World Series calls itself the Fall Classic, but more closely resembles a mid-winter classic ending darn near in...

Tyler Warner kicked a pair of field goals and Cato threw TD passes of 31 and 35 yards to Aaron Dobson, the latter putting the game away in the closing seconds.

Marshall beat East Carolina 34-27 Saturday to become bowl eligible at 6-6. They were down at halftime but tied things up and then won it in overtime. But it’s not the success of the Thundering Herd that matters; it’s the one-handed catch made by receiver Aaron Dobson in the second quarter that is stealing all [...]

For Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson, he's going to be on the highlights films for life with this amazing back handed catch against Eastern Carolina earlier today:

There were plenty of exciting highlights from the college football world on Saturday, but there’s no question this touchdown catch by Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson will go down as the top catches of the day–if not the entire season. As you can see in the video above, Dobson managed to pull off a ridiculous one-handed catch right before halftime...

If you aren't looking (and probably most of our readers are not), Marshall could actually represent the East Division in the Conference USA Championship Game. Now the 5-6 Thundering Herd still need some help and a win over East Carolina, and a very unlikely loss by Southern Miss against 2-9 Memphis to pull of the feat, but the slim hope is alive. The reason Marshall...

Apparently, by the looks of it, several. It appears that college football fans are getting in on the act of having at least one moron among them in the stands who thinks it is a hoot and a holler to... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Pam Ward's place as college football's most gaffe-prone and least aurally pleasing booth presence (my mom, seconds after encountering Ward in Saturday's Little Caesars Pizza Bowl: "I cannot stand to listen to this woman's voice") was secure long ago. Add to that a total disregard for the well-being of an injured player -- in this case, Marshall's Vinny Curry -- when she thinks the...

Ok, with a few hours to reflect, here's some thoughts on the disappointing result from Huntington. I think this was a winnable game and it is disappointing to come out without a win.In the post-game interview, Coach Clawson certainly sounded testy. Of course, if someone asked me three times about Albert McClellan I might have been a little short too. Anyway, it was nothing by...
